[quote=Anonymous]Hi there, we are moving from DC to the Bay area. My husbands new job is in Oakland but my focus is on the schools. I have 3 kids (middle/high) who are currently in DC private schools. We will focus where we live based on the schools as my husband has flexibility on the commute. Where would people suggest are the best areas for public schools and if that is a bust, what about private schools? I was thinking about Berkeley? Or maybe the other direction is better? I don't want to live in San Fransicco. In terms of budget for a house when we ultimately buy one, we could afford up to $3m which I am hoping even in the Bay area should be enough to have a nice home (and yes I am very grateful). I don't know the Bay area very well, we looked at Palo Alto years ago but decided it might be a bit of a pressure cooker for the kids (and us as well for that matter), but I don't know the area around Oakland at all. Given the pandemic I am not sure when I would be able to get there to check things out. Any pointers to start me in the right direction would be really appreciated. My greatest concern is figuring out the schools and i think everything else will work out from there. Any guidance appreciated in these crazy times.[/quote]
